  • Apparatus for Efficiently Coupling Light from a Light Source into a Thin Object
    Publication number: 20110013418
    Abstract: An apparatus for efficiently coupling light from a light source into a thin object such as a rod or a sheet is disclosed. In an embodiment, the apparatus comprises a sheet and a linear light source placed along the edge of the sheet. The light from linear light source is coupled into the sheet using one or more concentrator blocks. In another embodiment, the apparatus comprises a rod and a point light source placed near one end of the rod. The light from point light source is coupled into the rod using one or more concentrator blocks.

  • Multicolored Linear Light Source
    Publication number: 20100283376
    Abstract: A multicolored linear light source is disclosed. In an embodiment the multicolored linear light source (100) comprises a linear light source (100) emanating light of a first spectrum, and regions of photoluminescent material (102,104,106). The light of the first spectrum interacts with regions of photoluminescent material (102,104,106) to give light of a different spectrum. The composition of different regions of photoluminescent material is different, providing light of different spectra in different regions.

  • Light Source of Varying Thickness
    Publication number: 20100195349
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for a light source are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a light guide including light extracting features and at least one light source placed near an end of the light guide. Light from the light source gets deflected by the light extracting features and emanates in a predetermined pattern along a surface of the light guide. The light guide has different thicknesses in different parts.
